To celebrate its 16th anniversar­y, Phufa Shop is holding Phufa Day 2018, offering discounts of up to 80% on a variety of products at the Fashion Hall, 1st floor of Siam Paragon, from today until Sunday.

This is the greatest sale of the year where you can browse through local wisdom products ranging from hand-weaving blankets to handkerchi­efs, Pga K’nyau shawls, silk, Patek fabric, batik cloth, loincloth products and coconut-shell piggy banks.

The fair also brings household goods and cloth bags made from Patek fabric by Thai Muslim women with sewing skills from two occupation­al developmen­t groups in Yala and Narathiwat; natural- dyed and handwoven cotton fabric products by Pga K’nyau, a Karen hill-tribe group living in Tak and Chiang Mai; and herbal tea products by groups of villagers in Chachoengs­ao and Nan. There are also Phufa’s popular products that feature HRH Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn’s royal paintings such as polo shirts, T-shirts, canvas bags, pens, glasses, flasks, notebooks, watches, towels, umbrellas and hats as well as consumer goods.
